you can use data meant for any 223, although the H&R may have troubles with hotter max loads (extraction issues maybe?)

I can suggest Hodgdon Benchmark as a great powder to try first. I have had great results with it behind many bullets ranging from 40-55 grains.

The Nosler 55 gr Ballistic Tip is very deadly on coyotes and wolf, from using it last year I could see it thumped em good.


I always use Federal 205M match primers in my loads, and my hunting loads I use W-W brass. Seat your bullet close to the rifling, but not touching.
